Moving on, Soderbergh's also selling t-shirts, with some in-joke references to businesses in classic films. In the Reuters interview, he gives away the reference to Black Pony Scotch, saying, "That's a very, very obscure reference from a famous film noir from the 1940s where there is a five-second pan across a table and you see this bottle of Black Pony Scotch." The film, it turns out is Otto Preminger's "Laura."
Question: Do you ship to an international address?Answer: We would like to, but we're too lazy. And poor. We have plans to expand shipping to Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia by the end of 2013, but then again we also have plans to buy the state of Rhode Island, and that's more of a priority. Stay tuned for updates.
Soderbergh exposes plans to sell (though not on the web) his own brand of Singani, a Bolivian spirit distilled from muscatel grapes that was introduced to Soderbergh by his "Che" location scout, the producer Rodrigo Bellot. Included on this page is a video of a roller derby team that doesn't make sense until the last three seconds.

Not happy with the new rules for the 2014 Formula 1 season? Well, poke Bernie Ecclestone and demand what you see here: Classic paint on modern machines. And cigarettes.
If you don't fancy the V6 turbos, the concept of legalized cheating and the penis nose, or the 2014 season in short, think about the current liveries for a second, too. I'm not saying they're bad, but they're pretty far from what you could call iconic.

As tent cities fade, Occupy turns to specifics
Protesters wishto leave a lasting impression in order to enact change.
NEW YORK — For more than two months, they were open-air communes where people came to rebuild society and start a nationwide discussion on how to close the wide gap between the rich and the poor. But as Occupy tent cities fade away, a growing number of protesters are pushing to put a clear message ahead of the movement.
Alan Collinge has his list ready. Return bankruptcy protection to student loans. Bring back banking reform regulations that were removed from the Depression-era Glass-Steagall Act. End corporate personhood.
"They should come up with a short-term list of no-brainer agenda items," said Collinge, wearing a huge sign in the rain at New York's Zuccotti Park calling for student loan reforms.
More than a dozen other protesters interviewed by the Associated Press also came up with a wish list of specifics to help end corporate greed and economic inequality. The list of demands ranged from the simple (get corporate money out of politics) to the ethereal (make sure Washington politicians act with a moral conscience).
Asking Occupy protesters what, exactly, they would do to reform government and the financial system is a loaded question and a source of internal conflict. Collinge, 41, of Tacoma, Wash., said he has unsuccessfully lobbied Occupy's general assembly meetings in New York to develop a strong platform.
"A lot of people, they think that this should be sort of a catchall" for every issue, he said, the goal being to expose the economic problems in the country, not solve them.
Other cities' movements have held committee meetings with names like "cohesive messaging" to discuss strategy, but haven't agreed on specifics. The greater purpose isn't to influence the government or the financial system through classic demands, but to foster broad cultural changes that will gradually empower people to stop depending on big corporations and Wall Street money.
"All the energy has gone into an outcry over economic conditions, with the hope that others will join us and pick up issues they care about," says Bill Dobbs, Occupy Wall Street's press liaison in New York. "Our best hope is inspiring other people to take action to bring economic justice."
Some observers and experts predict Occupy groups may spend the next few months focusing on smaller actions while waiting for the summer, when the Republican and Democratic conventions would give protesters a worldwide audience.
Ask around, and protesters who spent weeks living in encampments and talking about the country's woes have a clear idea of what they want.
A number have called for limiting campaign donations and getting big money out of politics. Some Occupy members want to limit the amount of money a person is allowed to give a politician. Others want to ban corporate donations specifically, or the number of campaign ads.
"How did Abraham Lincoln ever become president without a television set?" asked Ryan Peterson, an entertainment company worker from Chicago who lived for weeks in Zuccotti Park.
Paul Lemaire, a 20-year-old visual arts student from Brooklyn, wants the two-party system eliminated.
The influence of money in politics is one of the greatest factors behind the gap between the superrich and the poor, said James Parrott, chief economist at the Fiscal Policy Institute in New York, which published a report last year on economic disparity.
The call for tighter regulation of campaign contributions won't gain traction anytime soon. The Supreme Court, in its landmark Citizens United decision in January 2010, cleared the way for corporations to spend unlimited funds to influence elections, often using money from anonymous donors. The court struck down most of the McCain-Feingold law that had set tight restrictions on such donations, arguing that government did not have the right to regulate political speech.
Campaign regulation, stopping wars that strain resources, halting corporate personhood — the spending power given to corporations in the Supreme Court ruling — and higher education costs emerged as key goals of the Occupy movement in Los Angeles. Organizers said they are focusing on sharpening their objectives, as police moved in to shut down the 2-month-old encampment this week.
"We've been collecting ideas, seeing what the priorities are, vetting and researching them," said activist Suzanne O'Keeffe, a member of Occupy LA's demands and objectives committee.
In Minneapolis, five members of the Occupy MN "cohesive messaging committee" gathered to talk strategy at a downtown coffee shop this week, asking that protesters fill out cards expressing themes that were important to them. The most important issues, tabulated on a spreadsheet, were economic justice, democracy, education and campaign finance reform.
Collinge, an aerospace engineer who later founded a website about problems with student loans, lists the congressional bill he wants passed to return bankruptcy protections to student loans. The Glass-Steagall Act, which separated commercial banking from investment banking, is also cited at the top of protesters' demands in cities across the country. Most of the restrictions that regulated the two forms of banking were repealed in 1999, and are blamed by many economists for contributing to the financial crisis.
Kalle Lasn, the co-founder of Adbusters, the Canadian magazine that helped ignite the Occupy movement, supports a 1 percent global "Robin Hood" tax on big financial transactions. Similar taxes and increases have been proposed for years, including the Obama administration's "financial crisis responsibility fee" tax proposal of last year, intended to raise $90 billion over the next decade.
As individual protesters and movements fashion a platform, experts and organizers warned that defining the movement more broadly keeps everyone in and keeps responsibility in the hands of the power brokers.
Said Parrott: "They've achieved a lot by having the open-ended process that they've had so far. ... They should be selective in that there are some people who are trying to glom onto the stage that they've created" with ideas that aren't part of the main movement.
Will Birney, who left his job as a waiter in Westport, Conn., to join Occupy's New York movement, has one wish, although it can't be passed into law or regulated by the Treasury Department.
"I would instill a fair conscience, if people could look to morality," said Birney, 26.
He knows he's reaching but says that's the point of the movement.
"I'm not even thinking we're going to get concrete solutions out of this," he said. "All I want is a change."

Hope College will feature pianist and composer Spencer Myer in performance on Tuesday, March 24, at 7:30 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Myer has just been selected to be part of the highly competitive 2009 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, which is held every four years. His performance at HopeCollege will include works by Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Liszt, Franz Schubert, Aaron Copland and Carl Vine.
In 2004, Myer captured First Prize in the 10th UNISA International Piano Competition in Pretoria, South Africa, as well as special prizes for the best performances of Bach, the commissioned work, the semifinal round recital, and both concerto prizes in the final round. He is also a laureate in the 2007 William Kapell, 2005 Cleveland, 2005 Busoni (where he was also awarded the Audience Prize), 2004 Montréal and 2003 New Orleans International Piano Competitions. Winner of the 2006 Christel DeHaan Classical Fellowship from the American Pianists Association, Myer also received both of the competition's special prizes in Chamber Music and Lieder Accompanying.
An enthusiastic supporter of the education of young musicians, Myer has been a frequent guest artist at workshops for students and teachers. He is also an advocate of contemporary music and inter-arts collaboration, and has worked with the Chicago- and New York-based ICE (International Contemporary Ensemble), Indianapolis' Dance Kaleidoscope, Ohio Dance Theatre, and New York City's New Triad for Collaborative Arts and The Juilliard School's "Composers and Choreographers" series.
Myer is a graduate of The Juilliard School, where he studied with Julian Martin. Other teachers include Peter Takács, Joseph Schwartz and Christina Dahl. He spent two summers at the MusicAcademy of the West, studying with Jerome Lowenthal. During the course of his undergraduate studies at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, he was the recipient of numerous awards from that institution, while, in 2000, he was named a recipient of a four-year Jacob K. Javits Memorial Fellowship from the United States Department of Education. His Doctor of Musical Arts degree was conferred by StonyBrookUniversity in 2005.
Myer can be heard on the Dimension Records label, performing music of the late Cleveland composer Frederick Koch and on a composer-conducted Naxos CD in performances of three concerti from Huang Ruo's Chamber Concerto Cycle. His debut CD for harmonia mundi usa, featuring music of Busoni, Copland, Debussy and Kohs, was released in the fall of 2007.
Dimnent Memorial Chapel is located at 277 College Ave., on College Avenue at 12th Street.

Wauwatosa priest had prior allegations of inappropriate touching
Our news partners at the Wauwatosa Patch report that a former Wauwatosa priest who was relieved of his duties in March after a complaint had prior complaints filed against him.
Fr. Robert Marsicek, 71, was a priest at Pius X parish before becoming the subject of an investigation last month. A Wauwatosa Catholic Schools teacher reported seeing Marsicek touching a student while holding her in his lap.
Marsicek denied the allegations, saying he "had never intentionally touched a child in a sexual manner."
The District Attorney's Office has declined to file charges in this case, but the Wauwatosa Patch reports that the school had also dealt with an incident with Marsicek as far back as 2004. The archdiocese removed Marsicek from all duties at the parish and assigned him to take up residence under supervision at the Provinciate of the Society of the Divine Savior in Milwaukee.

text: Hi to all, while I was working on an picture of IC 5070, the Pelican Nebula, I noticed that a star changed its brightness considerably between two different set of images taken on different nights. During the 1st, taken the night of 11-12 august 2013, the object was ~1.5 magnitude brighter than during the 2nd, which was obtained the night of 3-4 september 2013. I'm not a variable stars observer but I think that it would be interesting to know if someone has imaged the same famous subject in the same date or want to observe this star again. I've put an entry in the VSX database, thanks to Sebastian Otero's patience and support and the technical specifications for the attached images are as follows: Meade SCT 14" Classic at f/10, CCD SBIG ST-8XE+AO7 unfiltered, binning 1x1; each picture is a Sigma Clip combination of 3x1500" images, dark subtracted and flat calibrated, taken from Promiod, Aosta Valley, Italy.

#whitney #selfie
Text: Natasha Stagg
Last night (December 11th) V attended the Whitney's studio party after the annual gala (postponed due to Hurricane Sandy). The theme seemed to be (surprise!) online interactivity: we painted screens using a new Microsoft program, and viewed Polaroid-sized printed Intagram shots by Whitney-featured artists being auctioned off. $2.7 million was raised.
Although not all the pics were selfies, the directional towards a self-located stamp was clear: most of the Whitney's current exhibitions focus on emotive-iconography of some type—see "Sinister Pop", "Richard Artschwager!" and "Wade Guyton OS". These and the "Artport" exhibiitions help to create a conversation around social media that involves its predecessors, its celebrities and its detractors, but mostly its implications of self-involvment.

There's no standardized Chinese police car, like the Crown Vic, so they tend to get creative. This Mercedes S-Class cruiser is hard to top. It almost makes you want to become a political dissident.
On the scale of Chinese police cars, which are typically no more luxurious than a VW Santana, the S-Class ranks fairly high. We'd personally like to get into a chase with the MG TF police convertible, if only because there's no backseat in which to transport us after being arrested. The S-Class is great, though, and we'd much rather get picked up in one of these than one of these.

I'm not sure about you, but I still remember the nationwide horror that this man caused until everyone was scared and stayed indoors once upon a time, around 17 years back. Although being the most notorious killer in Malaysian history, there is little information about him anywhere on the Internet. I've combined offline and online sources to write this article. This article was originally in Malay.
I'm not in any way trying to promote this wicked criminal, but rather trying to tell you the story of the most notorious criminal in Malaysia once upon a time. I could not grab hold of his picture, if any of you have a copy, I would be grateful if you could send it over to me.
It's easy for him to kill anyone. When the man feels angry, he would just shoot and kill anyone who had made him angry without thinking of the consequences. He had never thought that owning a gun or killing someone in cold blood is punishable by death in court.
P. Kalimuthu had no guilty conscience at all and thinks that he was above the law in Malaysia. His wicked mind made Kalimuthu a.k.a Bentong Kali as the most wanted criminal in the early 1990's after Wong Swee Chin a.k.a Botak Chin in the 70's.
His crime was an outstanding 16 murders all over the country until even the police offered RM 100000 for any information leading to the capture of Kalimuthu. Besides the multiple murders, Kalimuthu was also suspected of being involved in many other crimes including injuring policemen's.
Kalimuthu always leaves his track behind by using the same gun in all his shootings, which was German made 9mm Sig Sauer .Bullet casings found in most of the murders would match that of the same gun.
Kalimuthu first entered the world of crime as early as when he was 14 years old, when he stopped schooling after Form 1. Lacking in education, Kalimuthu joined a Chinese secret society called 04 and started his early crimes including extortions to support his needs.
For some reason, he was caught and jailed when he was 19 but released soon after. Having been jailed did not make Kalimuthu repent, instead 4 years later; he continued his gangland activities by joining another Indian secret society called as 08.
With new gang members, Kalimuthu was once again active challenging the law in many cities including Brickfields, Segambut , Sungei Way and Ampang. He was once again caught in July 1985 under the Emergency Ordinance and was placed in Pulau Jerjak, Pulau Pinang but soon was released once again in 1987. He was transported to Kuantan, Pahang and was not allowed to come out from the state.
Crime being his world, the second chance given upon him was ignored and he started a brand new secret society called 04 which operates mostly in Jalan Klang Lama, Kuala Lumpur.The activity of Gang 04 includes drug trafficking and gangsterism. He was once again caught for drug related offence but was released because there was not enough evidence to prosecute him.
In 1991, Kalimuthu was on top of his crime madness when he committed multiple murders without mercy until the police had to launch a special operation called Ops Buncit in Jun 1993 to end the damage being done by Kalimuthu. Ops Buncit was a joined operation by more than 200 policemen from Kuala Lumpur, Pahang and Selangor to end the terror being caused by this maniac.
Police classified Kalimuthu of not being a hired killer, instead together with his followers; he commits murder as when and how he likes it. Kalimuthu also had few tattoos in his body and hand. On his body, there was a 'cross' symbol and also a phrase "Born to Die". On his right hand, a tiger head was tattooed, while on his left hand there was an eagle, a naked woman and a snake. On the back of his body, he had another eagle and both of his legs were tattooed with a naked woman. Kalimuthu also had a scar on his stomach as a result of an earlier operation.
In an attempt to capture Kalimuthu, posters of Kalimuthu and his crimes were posted all over Malaysia in public places. A reward of Rm100000 also awaited any information leading to the capture of Kalimuthu. The posters were also distributed to the bordering countries such as Thailand to avoid Kalimuthu escaping to Thailand. The hunt for Kalimuthu was a 24/7 operation, it was a continuous hunt.
Multiple raids was conducted near Kuala Lumpur mainly in Jalan klang Lama,Brickfields, Taman Melawati in Ampang, Balakong and Kajang in Selangor,plus Raub and Bentong in Pahang. The hunt finally paid some dividend when the police was tipped off that Bentong Kali had come out from his hiding to find one of his old mates in Jalan Klang Lama.
By early morning on 29 Jun 1993, police and Special Forces Unit (UTK) had surrounded a 2 storey terrace house in Medan Damansara. Together in the operation was Bomb Squads.
The tense situation then turned into a shooting game between the police force and Kalimuthu with two of his gang members. Kalimuthu, tried to flee the scene but was killed in action, with a head shot wound.
The shootings ended around 6.30 am with all 3 criminals shot dead, ending the episode of the most notorious killer in Malaysia history with 16 kills in his crime sheet.

Distrust on both sides as state police, Malloy administration at odds
By JC Reindl
Publication: The Day
Published 07/13/2012 12:00 AM
Hartford – In September 2010, gubernatorial candidate Dannel P. Malloy stopped by the headquarters of the Connecticut State Police Union to seek an endorsement.
He committed to increasing the state trooper ranks to 1,248 – then the statutory minimum. He assured the union "a seat at the table" in future talks concerning state police, according to the union's president, Sgt. Andrew Matthews.
The union liked what it heard. The candidate won its endorsement. And soon there were off-duty troopers at campaign rallies with bullhorns and Malloy-Wyman placards.
But two years on, relations between Malloy's administration and the state police union are at an all-time low.
Last month, the union of troopers, sergeants and master sergeants overwhelmingly voted no confidence in two top state police brass: Commissioner Reuben Bradford – a Malloy appointee – and Deputy Commissioner Col. Danny Stebbins. It was the first no-confidence vote since the union was formed in 1981.
Union leaders say they're mad at the governor for backpedaling on his trooper staffing pledge and allowing various top-down changes at the state police that, they contend, are misguided, unfair and detrimental to public safety.
Complicating the situation are personality conflicts, a newly expired labor contract, and claims of a secret deal that fell apart.
There is also lingering resentment that Malloy initially laid off 56 rookie troopers last summer after the union became one of only two state employees' unions to vote down the wages portion of a workforce concessions agreement needed to balance the state budget. That part of the agreement called for a two-year wage freeze in exchange for four years of job security.
Troopers rallied at the state Capitol that August in protest of the layoffs. Their placards noted their "24/7" duty in a dangerous line of work.
The laid-off troopers were eventually rehired, and the entire force got to keep the 2.5 percent raises in its contract. But anger persists.
'Change is hard'
The governor has characterized the friction as simple resistance to change. The initiatives under way, including a dispatch consolidation project and new "data-driven" policing, were designed to save money and put more troopers back on patrol.
"Change is hard," Malloy said recently. "It's also necessary."
A timing factor is the June 30 expiration of the state police union's work contract. Matthews, the union president, insists it was largely coincidental that their no-confidence vote occurred the same week the contract expired. Talks for a new contract are ongoing, and the union is bracing for arbitration.
Still a sore subject for the union is elimination of the state's trooper staffing minimum law.
After taking office, Malloy called 1,248 troopers an "arbitrary" number lacking any direct link to public safety.
Malloy was the driving force behind legislation that passed the General Assembly last month and officially ended the minimum, which in practice was often ignored by past administrations. The new law tasks Commissioner Bradford with determining a "sufficient" number of troopers for Connecticut; a legislative committee has also formed to study the issue.
By the union's count, there are now 1,068 uniformed troopers.
Roy Occhiogrosso, the governor's senior adviser, said the governor learned that the 1,248 figure, set in law in 1998, originated from an application for a federal grant.
"We during the campaign were under the assumption that there was a specific law enforcement rationale for that number," Occhiogrosso said. "We came to find out that was not the case." Now the law reads differently.
Dispatch consolidation
The new consolidation project calls for regionalizing dispatch operations and reducing the number of dispatch centers from 12 to five. The goal is to put the equivalent of 55 troopers back on patrol by handing dispatch duties to lower-paid civilians.
The first consolidation occurred this spring in the state's northwest corner. Stebbins, the project's architect, wants the consolidation involving Troop E in Montville – dispatch operations for Troops C, D, E and K all to be out of Troop C in Tolland – within a year. Troop C has the barracks with the newest building and the most amount of free space.
State police have also begun using a "data-driven" model to schedule policing for events like OpSail/Sailfest and the University of Connecticut's spring weekend. The model considers data such as box office receipts and hotel room sales to gauge the appropriate number of troopers.
Other changes include using judicial marshals to transfer some prisoners and redeploying several troopers once stationed at Bradley International Airport.
"Yes, there is change," Stebbins said. "But it is for the good."
Stebbins and Bradford are both former Connecticut troopers who came out of retirement.
"If you had a couple of civilians who had never worn a uniform, then I think it would be a fair question to ask as to how public safety is being enhanced," Occhiogrosso said.
The union contends the consolidation is already overburdening dispatchers and resulting in longer waits for 911 and trooper radio calls. They also question the savings and whether barracks might eventually close on nights and weekends.
Stebbins said the consolidation will save money long-term. He denies any closure plans. Other high-level state officials point out that the changes drawing complaints from the union would reduce the amount of available overtime.
Overtime pay allows many state troopers to significantly increase their salaries and pensions.
Matthews, who is also an attorney, argues that the union wasn't given its "seat at the table" beforehand.
But Stebbins counters that union members in the first three barracks affected were indeed part of those discussions. "I guess Andy means why was he not invited," the colonel said.
Occhiogrosso also contends that the Malloy administration at first gave the union unprecedented access, including 2011 talks that led to a compromise on how troopers staff the state's half-dozen truck weigh stations.
"Until they blew it, they had a seat at the table they never had before," Occhiogrosso said, who said the union president "destroyed" his relationship with the administration. "He was misrepresenting conversations we were having, and then he was agreeing to things and then un-agreeing to them."
He cites an episode last year during grievance proceedings in which Linda Yelmini, state director labor relations, believed that Matthews misrepresented evidence to "inappropriately gain an advantage" in a dispute. Matthews hotly contests Yelmini's recollection.
Matthews said he and his members are being "bullied" and "punished" by the Malloy administration for voting down part of the state workforce concessions agreement last August.
Special deal?
Matthews said another reason for the strain is the administration's decision last summer to withdraw its offer for a state police-only side deal as part of the larger concessions agreement.
Most administration officials deny such a deal existed.
Occhiogrosso said Matthews sought some sort of special arrangement for the union during a visit to his office in the state Capitol. Occhiogrosso recalled telling the union president he wasn't involved in concessions negotiations and referred him to Mark Ojakian, the administration's head negotiator and now Malloy's chief of staff.
"He would slip into this office in a dark overcoat like it was some sort of spy novel, and he wanted to talk about SEBAC," Occhiogrosso said, using the acronym for the State Employees Bargaining Agent Coalition that bargained on behalf of 15 state unions.
Ojakian said, "We never discussed or made a side deal with anybody."
Yet Matthews claims that a high-level official in the administration did indeed offer a special six-month time extension before the concessions would kick in. That would allow time to put a new class of troopers through training, in case the concessions prompted mass retirements.
Of 168 troopers eligible to retire, 40 ended up taking the offer. The union feared that many more would retire to lock in their benefits, Matthews said. Troopers who stayed on will receive lower cost-of-living adjustments in their pensions.
The other unions in the coalition were not supposed to know about the special deal, he said. Matthews said there was no written contract, only oral agreements and voicemail.
In a statement and through a spokesman, Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman confirmed to The Day that she did extend a potential offer to state police for six months of "flexibility," but it was not a firm offer, which can only be made at the bargaining table.
The administration pulled out of the deal arrangement in the first part of August, Matthews said, when other state union leaders caught word of it and tried to seek something similar. Rank-and-file members of the union coalition were soon to begin a do-over round of voting on the concessions package.
Matthews recalled walking into Occhiogrosso's office after Malloy's press secretary issued a statement batting down "the rumor" of a special deal for state police.
"I said, 'You can't tell people there wasn't a deal when there was. The only thing troopers have is their integrity,'" Matthews said. "And he said that my conversation with this individual was supposed to be confidential, and I had breached that confidentiality and I cannot be trusted."
Matthews said he had to tell union members about the arrangement to give them another reason to vote in favor of the concessions – which they had rejected in the first vote two months earlier.
"I don't work for Roy Occhiogrosso, I don't work for the governor, I work for the members who elected me," said Matthews, who is halfway through his four-year term as president.
The workforce concessions passed anyway that August, despite troopers' no votes.

Next spring the Campus Buzzway at UC Davis will burst with buds, blooms and bees.
The Campus Buzzway, a quarter-acre field of wildflowers, took root the third week of November when a crew planted golden poppies, lupine and coreopsis (tickseed).
Or more precisely, Eschscholzia californica, Lupinus perennis and Coreopsis granidflora.
The garden is a gift from Häagen-Dazs, which also funded the design competition for the half-acre Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven. Both bee friendly gardens are located on Bee Biology Road, next to the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility.
Many other donors have stepped forward to make the gardens possible.
Think bees.
Think year-around food source for bees.
Think public awareness about the the plight of bees.
Think educational opportunities for visitors.
This is no ordinary garden. The Campus Buzzway is unique in that it not only will sport the UC Davis official colors of blue and gold, but it will include three areas of concentrated plantings surrounded by random plantings of the poppies, lupine and coreopsis.
Lynn Kimsey, professor and vice chair of the Department of Entomology and director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology, suggested the design, which also includes narrow walkways.
The two gardens, she said, "will greatly benefit our colonies and make terrific teaching opportunities."
Expect to see scores of local pollinator populations there, too, and folks gleaning ideas for their own bee friendly gardens. Yes!
This is the second year that Häagen-Dazs, known for its premier ice cream (about half of its flavors are pollinated by honey bees), has raised funds for honey bee research at UC Davis and Penn State University. At UC Davis, Häagen-Dazs is funding postdoctoral fellow Michelle Flenniken, an insect virus researcher seeking to unlock the mysteries of the viruses that plague bees.
Meanwhile, mark your calendars. A public celebration of the two bee friendly gardens is set June 19.

Foswiki SkinsSkins overlay regular templates to give different looks and feels to Foswiki screens.
On this page:
OverviewFoswiki uses skin templates as the basis of all the screens it uses to interact with users. Each screen has an associated template file that contains the basic layout of the screen. This is then filled in by the code to generate what you see in the browser. Foswiki ships with a default set of template files that give a very basic, CSS-themable, look-and-feel. Foswiki also includes support for skins that can be selected to give different, more sophisticated, look and feel. A default Foswiki installation will usually start up with the PatternSkin already selected. Skins may also be defined by third parties and loaded into a Foswiki installation to give more options. To see how Foswiki looks when no skin is selected, view this topic with a non-existant skin. Topic text is not affected by the choice of skin, though a skin can be defined to use a CSS (Cascading Style Sheet), which can sometimes give a radically different appearance to the text.
Changing the default skinFoswiki by default ships with the PatternSkin activated. You can set the skin for the whole site (via SitePreferences), a single web (via its WebPreferences topic) or topic, for each user individually, or even per request - see Activating Skins below for more details.
Defining SkinsYou may want to define your own skin, for example to comply with corporate web guidelines, or because you have a aesthetic vision that you want to share. There are a couple of places you can start doing this. Skin templates are located by looking at a list of possible locations, including topics and files in the
templates directory. The lookup process is configurable, and is described in SkinTemplates#FindingTemplates. You can choose to define your skin entirely in topics, entirely in files in
templates, or in a mixture of both.
The easiest way to start creating a new skin is to layer it over an existing skin, only overriding those parts of the existing skin that you want to customise. Foswiki can be configured to fall back to another skin if a template is not defined in your skin. A custom skin can be as small as one file!
Most skins, even those that look radically different to the default, use this layering approach, by basing themselves on the default skin templates (those template files with no skin name e.g
edit.tmpl etc). These templates provide a minimal interface that is easy to understand and build on. Another advantage of this approach is that if new features are exposed in the default templates, your skin has a chance to pick them up "for free".
If you use PatternSkin as your starting point, and you want to modify the layout, colors or even the templates to suit your own needs, have a look first at the topics PatternSkinCustomization and PatternSkinCssCookbook. These topics also provide practical instructions how to create custom skin template files.
Note: Don't call your skinThe following template names are used for Foswiki screens, and are referenced in the Foswiki core code. If a skin doesn't define its own version of a template file, then Foswiki will fall back to the next skin in the skin path, or finally, to the default version of the template file. (Certain template files are expected to provide certain TMPL:DEFs - these are listed in sub-bullets)
foswiki.tmpl is a master template conventionally used by other templates, but not used directly by code.
Note: Make sure templates do not end with a newline. Any newline will expand to an empty
Partial customisation, or adding in new features to an existing skinYou can use recursion in the TMPL:INCLUDE chain. For example, if
view.tmpl contains
%TMPL:INCLUDE{"foswiki"}%, the templating system will include the next SKIN in the skin path.
To create a customisation of the Pattern skin, where you only want to remove the edit & WYSIWYG buttons from the
view screen, you create only a
%TMPL:INCLUDE{"view"}% %TMPL:DEF{"edit_topic_link"}%%TMPL:END% %TMPL:DEF{"edit_wysiwyg_link"}%%TMPL:END%and then set
SKIN=yourlocal,pattern in SitePreferences, a particular web's WebPreferences, or in an individual topic, depending on the desired scope of the skin.
Settings in SkinsYou can use template directives, ordinary macros, and other predefined settings in your skins. Some commonly used macros in skins:
Using Cascading Style SheetsCSS files are gererally attachments to the skin topic that are included in the skin templates - in the case of PatternSkin in the template
%ADDTOZONE{ "head" id="MySkin/mystyle" text=" " }%See ADDTOZONE
Skin parts
The "Go" Box and Navigation BoxThe default skins include a "Go" box, also called "Jump" box, to jump to a topic. The box also understands URLs, e.g. you can type
http://www.google.com/ to jump to an external web site. The feature is handy if you build a skin that has a select box of frequently used links, like Intranet home, employee database, sales database and such. A little JavaScript gets into action on the
onchange method of the select tag to fill the selected URL into the "Go" box field, then submits the form.
Note: Redirect to a URL only works if it is enabled in
configure (Miscellaneous,
FLASHNOTE NotificationsPatternSkin has a notification message display using the variable
FLASHNOTE. For example:
Attachment TablesControlling the look and feel of attachment tables is a little bit more complex than for the rest of a skin. By default, the attachment table is a standard Foswiki table, and the look is controlled in the same way as other tables. In a very few cases you may want to change the content of the table as well. The format of standard attachment tables is defined through the use of special template directives which by default, are defined in the
attachtables.tmpl template using the
%TMPL:DEF directive syntax described in SkinTemplates. These macros are:
ATTACH:row macros are expanded for each file in the attachment table, using the following special tags:
Packaging and Publishing SkinsSee Foswiki:Development/ExtensionDeveloperGuide For your own skin you are encouraged to show a small 88x31 pixel logo at the bottom of your skin:
  Generating: The standard Foswiki skins show the logo in the
Browsing Installed SkinsYou can try out all installed skins in the SkinBrowser.
Activating SkinsFoswiki uses a skin search path, which lets you combine skins additively. The skin path is defined using a combination of preference settings and URL parameters. Foswiki works by asking for a template for a particular function - for example, 'view'. The detail of how templates are searched for is described in SkinTemplates, but in summary, the templates directory is searched for a file called
.tmpl, where skin is the name of the skin e.g.
pattern. If no template is found, then the fallback is to use
view.tmpl. Each skin on the path is searched for in turn. For example, if you have set the skin path to
local,pattern then
view.local.tmpl will be searched for first, then
view.pattern.tmpl and finally
The basic skin is defined by the
SKIN preference:
* Set SKIN = catskin, bearskinYou can override this using the URL parameter
skin, such as
?skin parameter in the URL replaces the existing skin path setting for the current request only.
You can also extend the existing skin path using covers:
* Set COVER = ruskinThis pushes a different skin to the front of the skin search path, so the final skin path will be
ruskin, catskin, bearskin.
There is also a
cover URL parameter that can be used to push yet more skin names in front of the
COVER preference.
So the final value of the skin path is given by:
* Set SKIN = muscle,bone * Set COVER = epidermisand a URL with the parameter
?cover=hair,dermis then the final skin path will
Or we might specify a
skin url parameter,
?skin=flesh. With the same preferences this will set the skin path
Note that you cannot use the
cover url parameter to remove a skin applied by the
COVER preference. Once a
COVER preference is defined, it is always applied.
Hard-Coded SkinsThe
text skin is reserved for Foswiki internal use.
Skin names starting with
rss also have a special meaning; if one or more of the skins in the skin path starts with 'rss' then 8-bit characters will be encoded as XML entities in the output, and the
content-type header will be forced to

Sheila Cummings, a 2002 alumna of Wayne State University Law School, is an expert on election law.
Since January 2013, she has served as Oakland County's deputy clerk and register of deeds. From 2009 until she took that position, she was the Democratic legal counsel for the Michigan House of Representatives, counseling lawmakers on election law, campaign finance issues and a variety of other legal issues.
As a law student, she didn't see herself in that role.
"In fact, when I was in law school, I was not even aware that a job such as legal counsel for the state House existed," said Cummings, who lives in Detroit. "The advantage of a law degree is the variety of jobs available to law graduates. When I graduated, I knew I was interested in a combination of law, policy and politics. Working in and around elections has afforded me the opportunity to make a career out of the combination of those passions."
She started sparking dialogue on policy and politics even as a law student, working for one of Wayne Law's scholarly legal journals.
"My favorite experience in law school was planning and coordinating the annual symposiums as a staff member for The Journal of Law in Society," Cummings said. "Each year's symposium provided the law school with a unique opportunity to engage the Detroit community in discussions on social justice issues."
After graduation, she worked as an associate with Jaffe Raitt Heuer & Weiss PC in Detroit, practicing in a variety of litigation matters, and served as lead attorney on a civil rights lawsuit for the Eastern District of Michigan's Federal Bar Association's Pro-Bono Program.
The House Democratic Caucus recruited Cummings from Jaffe Raitt Heuer & Weiss PC to serve in her first stint as Democratic legal counsel. In 2007, she took a job as a staff attorney for NARAL Pro-Choice America in Washington, D.C.
Cummings' undergraduate degree from Albion College was in women's studies and English. From NARAL, she went to the National Women's Law Center in Washington, D.C., as a senior advisor before returning to Michigan to serve as the House majority counsel.
"When I worked in the state House, I staffed the elections committee," Cummings said. "For that committee, I worked on election reforms that would make voting easier and more accessible."
Now, as a deputy clerk overseeing elections, she works on a legislative committee with other county clerks across the state advocating for election law reform, including online voter registration and no-reason absentee voting. The committee also advocates for changes to Michigan election law to make absentee voting easier for first-time voters, especially for college students who are frequently away at school and not able to travel to their home polling place on Election Day.
"Voting is a fundamental right, and instead of discouraging and disenfranchising voters, as we are currently seeing in voter suppression efforts in state legislatures across the country, we should be striving to make voting easier and more accessible for all eligible citizens in Michigan," Cummings said.
Legislation to change Michigan election law to allow voters to request an absentee ballot for any reason (not just for the restricted justifications currently in law) has been introduced in every legislative session for almost 20 years, and has yet to pass, she said.
"One of the more challenging aspects of overseeing elections is working within Michigan's antiquated election law," Cummings said. "Legislative changes are needed to allow for better participation in the voting process and to keep up with the changing technologies surrounding elections. The most satisfying aspect of overseeing elections is seeing people participate in democracy and having their voices heard no matter where they fall on the political spectrum."

Colonial Surfer - The ReSearch is a project about the contemporary globalized world and power structures within the surf industry and its realm. Surfing is not just a sport but also culture, producer and distributor. In current discussions you hear about the post-colonial but the situation today is better described as neo-colonial. Surfers do travel a lot and sometimes to places unknown to other tourists. The way surfers behave and represent themselves in the adventures search of perfect waves has a lot in common with ancient colonizers and their roles. To surf maintain and conserve already existing structures. History.

Since we first saw Nano released in 2011 it has been a firm favorite for Reebok. The Men's Reebok Nano 5.0 Crossfit Training Shoe is the newest installment in Reebok's CrossFit line. The Reebok Nano 5.0 closely resembles the Reebok CrossFit Compete but it has its own noticeable differences. The tip of the toe box is a thick rubber to offer a strong impact protection. The shoe then evolves into a super strength Kevlar material and a lightweight mesh top. The entire upper is built with Kevlar, which gives a nice quality of strength in the material. The middle upper no longer has the duracage as seen with the 4.0 instead the half 0 then 5 numbers are shadowed with a grey to black square pattern. The Nano 5.0 sole is very similar to the Reebok CrossFit Compete and nothing like the last Nano. Make sure you maximize your CrossFit potential in the Reebok Nano 5.0!

by Kate McCarthy, VNRC Vermonters may think of VNRC as primarily an environmental organization: one that supports healthy land, air, water and wildlife, and clean energy. That's all true – and has been since VNRC was founded over 50 years ago. What many people may not always realize, however, is that we also see our downtowns and villages as an essential part of sustaining Vermont's environmental values.
In addition to being an important part of our history, heritage, and sense of place, our downtowns and villages give us all more housing options, reduce our reliance on cars, and take development pressure off our rural lands.
That's why we are pleased with legislation recently signed into law by Governor Shumlin that boosts our downtowns and also curbs wasteful, car-dependent, inefficient strip development outside our downtowns and villages.
In particular, the changes that one of the bills, H.823, makes to Act 250 are going to help reinforce downtown development.
Over time, Act 250 has done a lot of things well, generally helping ensure more environmentally-sensitive project design, for instance. What it hasn't done is effectively address strip development – the sort of single story, auto-oriented development that chews away at our rural lands and undercuts the health of our downtowns.
This new legislation provides the regional district commissions – those bodies that administer Act 250 – with a way to shape development so that it uses land and infrastructure more efficiently and connects better to existing development. The bill also ensures that when district commissions evaluate the transportation impacts of projects, they consider more than just cars, but also at how new projects help support bicycle, pedestrian, and transit networks – providing much-needed opportunities for people to have a variety of transportation options.
Some have argued that these changes will make it too hard to build businesses in existing strip areas, and that it will halt development in rural areas. This bill isn't about saying "no" to development. It's about making sure that when we develop, we use land efficiently, and in a way that doesn't worsen the strip development we have or create more of it.
We expect these changes will lead to better development outside of our existing settlements. While it is possible that some projects could be rejected under this criterion, that's not the goal of this bill. Nonetheless, if a proposed project is not reinforcing what we've said we want as a state – compact settlement surrounded by rural countryside – it's appropriate for Act 250 to say so.
H.823 and the other pro-downtown bills passed this year highlight, in a very positive way, the complementary Vermont values of a healthy environment AND healthy downtowns. At VNRC, we are proud to have supported these measures and thank the lawmakers and administration staff who worked so hard to make them a reality.

Nothing could be more welcoming and cozy than a country themed kitchen.
The country style focuses on making the room warm and friendly, while maintaining a kitchen that's practical.
This is why the classic farmhouse look has stood the test of time and there are plenty of modern takes on the country design.
Here are a few ideas on how you can create a country home feel in your kitchen:
When choosing the materials for the room try and keep everything as natural as possible. Hardwood flooring is a classic look for a country kitchen style; however a stone tiled floor contrasted with wooden cabinetry will really bring the room to life.
Alt=With kitchen cabinets and fittings, a painted finish is a great look especially if you use a pale color which allows the wood grain to show through.
Once again contrast is key, bold colored walls against your neutral cabinets will really bring out the fittings.
An island is a great feature for any kitchen but it fits in particularly well with the country style. As well as being a focal point of the room they are multifunctional, a kitchen island will provide space to prepare and cook food, while creating a perfect space for family and friends to dine and enjoy your welcoming country style room.
Kitchen islands also provide suitable storage space, while free standing shelves maintain the practical theme. Open shelving is efficient, as you can quickly grab whatever you need and it allows you to show off your pots, pans and crockery.
However, if tidiness is not your best attribute, then alternatively you could choose kitchen cabinets with doors.
These ideas should give you the foundations of bringing the country kitchen style to your hub of the home.

This year at BlogHer we're featuring a panel that's all about how to manage your digital legacy. In other words: Do you have a digital will? What happens to your blogs, your Twitter account, your Facebook account, etc. etc. etc.? You can read more about the session here, and while it may sound morbid, it's something I haven't done...but probably should.
So, having just published that, this headline at HippyShopper caught my eye: Greener Funerals
That's another thing I haven't thought about, and probably should.
How about you?

NJ Transit trains break on-time record in 2012
New Jersey Transit says its trains achieved record on-time performance in 2012.
The agency says its trains were on time 96.4 percent of the time even though it was operating nearly 23 percent more trains than the previous record year of 1995.
That was when trains had an on-time performance score of 96.2 percent.
NJ Transit attributes the performance to its Scorecard initiative in which passengers rate the railroad.
NJ Transit is the second largest transit system in the U.S. with 164 rail stations, 61 light rail stations and more than 19,000 bus stops.

The bogan doesn't care if people it doesn't know die, unless they speak English and die in maxtreme quantities. Or if they don't, and die in quantities so maxtreme as to depopulate a region of the planet. The time it will care most, though, is when deaths happen 'close to home', which is why the bushfires in Victoria last year and the insulation fires of 2010 have led to the bogan being deeply concerned for its own safety. And, oh, yeah, other people's too.
In the trashmedia Kraken's frantic flailing for megajustice, someone to blame is found ASAP. Customarily, it's someone who has been blamed before. Politicians are popular, immigrants are ascendant, and, of course, 'society' is never far from the limelight. Thankfully, the bogan is capable of holding others to higher standards than it expects from itself.
Peter Garrett is a case in point. In his past incarnation as the frontman of Midnight Oil, Garrett was the happy recipient of a free pass from most bogans. Even though his politically-charged lyrics may have borne a distinct whiff of Political Correctness Gone Mad, Garrett had to wait until they voted him in before he was derided for it. And even though many bogans vociferously deny the existence of something so patently ridiculous as the "environment", Garrett was criticised as a sell-out and a hypocrite for making the leap from activist to pragmatist.
But it wasn't until some point in early 2010, when Garrett inadvertently signed on as Minister Directly Responsible for Workplace Deaths, that he really copped it from the bogan. Despite the fact that insulation was installed in the homes of bogans who capitalised on the offer of cheap insulation, without actually checking to see if the installer knew a pink batt from a pink bit, every death was Garrett's fault. The bogan's opinion about this was informed, then reinforced, by daily updates from Tracy Grimshaw, who, without so much as batting her reptilian eyelids, followed up with a story about dodgy tradies.
More recently, Christine Nixon, former Victoria Police Commissioner, has experienced the bogan's righteous punishment. After realising that The Butterfly Effect was a pretty sick band AND an Ashton Kutcher movie, it looked it up. As it turns out, when Christine Nixon sunk her choppers into her chicken parmigiana at the pub last February, the displacement of parma air triggered a roaring gale 60km northwest of the pub, which fanned the flames to the extent that it eliminated septuagenarian former bogan news source Brian Naylor. The bogan knew that she must pay, and pay so much more than the $18 for the parma. The bogan wants her, as a murderer of hundreds, to never receive payment for anything ever again. It is likely to prevail.

I recently spent a lot of time watching YouTube videos. You'd to this, too, if you were an unemployed writer just waiting for that call. You know the one: it comes from a major car magazine, and it goes something like: "Doug, we love your writing. Can you move to Michigan and summarize press releases for approximately the same salary as people who mow highway medians?" Oh, the excitement! Any day now!
Anyway: like you, I only watch the most exciting YouTube videos. Russian dash cams. Police chases. The royal wedding. You know: stuff that really makes you glad you're inside.
But I recently stumbled across a video that merits serious coverage. So I, dear readers, have decided to take up that task even though I've never provided serious coverage of anything, aside from the time I asserted the coolest cars came from the mid-2000s and, you, in reply, asserted that I'm a complete jackass.
I'll start with a summary of the video. First, a gruff-looking guy sits down in front of the camera. Then, the guy begins speaking, which causes you to think: Is he really going to film this entire video in portrait mode? Once you realize that, yes, that's exactly what's he's going to do, you start listening and quickly discover the following four facts:
1. The gruff-looking guy recently visited Europe, where he probably perpetuated a variety of American stereotypes by insisting that a café in Paris serve him "a cold Miller Lite" and "set up a TV with the game."
2. While in Europe, the gruff-looking guy rented a diesel Volkswagen that returned more than 50 miles per gallon. Because European towns are very small (Rome, for instance, is roughly the same size as a beach umbrella), the gruff-looking guy failed to notice the car had the acceleration of a millipede.
3. The gruff-looking guy came back to the States and visited his Volkswagen dealer, where he was told Volkswagen doesn't offer that powertrain in America. Angered, he replied: "Well, can I at least have a cold Miller Lite?!"
4. The gruff-looking guy decides to blame the government for Volkswagen's decision not to offer his desired powertrain in the States. Reached for comment, President Obama said: Is this entire video in portrait mode?
I watched this video with great excitement, largely because I love it when people who aren't into cars give their opinions about cars. Really, their perspective is always highly interesting. An example is when my girlfriend was looking for an SUV last year, so we drove the Lexus RX 330, and after the test drive she remarked: I really like that one. It was at this point I knew that we could no longer continue our relationship.
But like many non-car people trying to make their way in the complicated world of cars, our gruff-looking friend had the right idea, but the wrong facts. No, Mr. Gruff-Looking Guy: it isn't the government that stopped us from getting high-mileage diesels. It's the American people. Allow me to explain.
To do this, I must take you back to 2003. You might remember 2003, because it was the year that politically-minded adults debated whether Iraq had any weapons of mass destruction, while their children tried to figure out what the hell Andre 3000 was talking about when he implored women to "shake it like a polaroid picture."
It was also the year that Volkswagen finally brought a European-market Passat diesel to the United States.
That's right: the 2004 Passat offered a 2.0-liter turbodiesel 4-cylinder, presumably designed to satisfy all those people like Mr. Gruff-Looking Guy who insisted that Volkswagen was saving its most efficient cars for Europeans.
And guess what? Nobody bought it.
You see, the problem with that Passat – and most European-market diesels – is that they're unbelievably slow. In the Passat's case, it offered 134 horsepower and reached 60 mph in 10.5 seconds. Americans, as it turned out, wanted better gas mileage – but not if it meant they couldn't reach highway speeds on the onramp. The result was that Volkswagen shelved the US-market Passat diesel until 2012, when rising gas prices finally meant Americans would trade a little speed for a little efficiency.
And now we return to the gruff-looking guy's video. He says his European rental car of choice was actually a 1.6-liter Passat diesel, which is an even smaller engine than the one they sold here in 2004. So I checked the numbers: the B6 Passat's 1.6 TDI model produced 104 horsepower, topped out around 119 mph, and did the 0-to-60 run in twelve point seven seconds. Is that really worth 50-plus miles per gallon?
To some people, the answer is yes. These are the kind of people who buy Priuses and show up for flights three hours ahead of schedule. But our gas is still cheap enough that most Americans would rather have a bigger engine – and Volkswagen is keenly aware of that.
In other words: yes, it's true we don't get tiny diesel cars with double-digit horsepower ratings. But it's not because of the government. It's because Americans don't want to drive down the road while simultaneously wondering: Is this thing on? And once gruff-looking guy attempted to drive a 104-horsepower, 3,500-pound midsize sedan on a large American highway, I expect he would feel exactly the same way.

Check out Zac Efron with Imogen Poots shooting Are We Officially Dating? He and his two boys vow not to get girlfriends and then, naturally, he falls in love, and, hold up, hold up...
She's a Quirky Girl, isn't she?
She's what the internet has termed the Manic Pixie Dream Girl.
She rides a bike and collects used cocktail napkins because every stain carries a memory. She likes to spin, for no reason, and when she does, a pile of leaves miraculously appears. She would cry if you bought her a new book and not a used one. Rhubarb is her favourite colour. Nostalgia is her favourite emotion.
Don't judge a movie by its cover!
Maybe he won't push her away, and regret it, and build a fort for her in Central Park after sending kite messengers to her apartment to bring her there.
If that's the case, meh, I won't be as interested in seeing it on a plane. Where a knot will form in my stomach the moment she walks in on him nuzzling a busty beer model. Which...there is no better knot in your stomach the moment she walks in on him nuzzling a busty beer model scene than the one in Veronica Mars Season 2. If this is your jam, you need to get on that show. Forget 90 minutes of it, this is 22 episodes. And Veronica, amazingly, isn't a formula.

A new forecast for retailers is decidedly more upbeat, with BDO predicting a 5.1% increase in sales in the year ahead, thanks to shoppers' growing confidence in the strengthening economy. The survey, based on interviews with CFOs at some of the country's largest retail chains, also projects a 4.8% bump in comparable-store sales.
Those predictions are more optimistic than the 4.1% forecast issued by the National Retail Federation last week.
Some 63% of those in the survey, however, say they are including their chain's online divisions in their comparable sales projections, which means their increases may be linked to e-commerce results. (The NRF's forecast calls for a gain of between 9 and 12% in retail purchases made online.)
But the biggest factor seems to be chipper consumers. A majority of the execs -- 56% -- predict rising consumer confidence levels throughout 2014.
"With consumer confidence gaining momentum, retail CFOs are relatively bullish about 2014 retail sales," says Doug Hart, partner in the Retail and Consumer Products practice at BDO, in its release.
That's not to say they aren't worried (being CFOs and all). Chief among their concerns: Unemployment and weak job creation (named by 39%), and personal credit availability and debt (18%). But between a stronger housing market and less static from Washington, retailers are hoping that consumers will find it less stressful to spend. And some 40% say they are increasing headcount at their companies this year, "despite reports of staff layoffs and a shrinking of retailers' brick-and-mortar presences."
BDO also asked them about which holiday promotions worked best, with online promotions that added some convenience for shoppers ranking highest. Free shipping (28%) and email and social media promotions (24%) scored best. The season's stinkers? Extended hours (40%) and price-matching (20%).
The survey included 100 retail CFOs, and was fielded last month.

Young Scottish mom blames 8-cup boob growth spurt for life woes
A young mother from Scotland is blaming her life woes on her enormous boobs and wants financial help to do something about it.
Natalie Donnan, a 21-year-old from Ayrshire, says her breasts grew eight cup sizes after she gave birth to her daughter last October, leading to crippling back pain that prevents her from walking long distances or working out in the gym. She told the UK's Daily Mail she has to deal with severe back pain, can't find a bra that fits properly and has sores all over her chest.
"It's affected everything from my body image to being able to buy clothes and bras that fit me," Donnan told the Daily Mail. "They attract unwanted attention all the time and I hate it. It's causing medical issues and it's not something that's self-afflicted, it's not something that I've wanted.
"I think it's made out to be better than it is. People don't realize the health implications, like the back pain."
In the hope of having breast reduction surgery done quickly – the waiting list, she says, is too long – Donnan, a former ferry stewardess, has started a GoFundMe account to come up with £5,000 (C$8,500) needed. So far, after nearly two weeks, she hasn't received a single donation.
Donnan's postpartum growth spurt, which has left her with breasts measuring 32K, has baffled doctors, she said. That said, she says she has always had big breasts and the first bra she bought at age 11 was a 32FF.
In addition to the pain she experiences from her mammoth boobs, she is also having problems attracting a boyfriend. Much of the attention she receives from men while out and about is unwanted.
"I was at work once on a late shift and all these drunk men were hitting on me," she said. "It made me feel pretty uncomfortable, it was horrible. I don't want to wear anything that I feel is sexy and I can't wear anything that will give me full support.
"It makes it difficult to find a boyfriend who genuinely cares about me. If I use dating apps all the messages I get are always about my boobs. It feels really degrading. It's not the kind of attention I want from people."

Up-and-coming country artists continue to circulate through a particular saloon in the City Center section of Newport News.
Missouri country singer David Nail will perform at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar on Thursday, May 30. Nail, whose hits include "Red Light" and "Let It Rain," was nominated for an Academy of Country Music Award this year.
Last year, Nail covered Adele's "Someone Like You," a tune that let him showcase the soulful side of his vocal chops.
"I listen to so little music on the radio because I'm such a sports guy, especially during baseball, basketball and football season, so I was late to Adele," Nail told the Great American Country network. "But when I finally heard her, that was it! I was completely all about everything she sings, but especially I loved 'Someone Like You.'"
Tickets to Nail's Newport News concert are $10 in advance, $15 day of show.

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
If you have Arborio rice on hand, use it in place of long-grained rice.
- Yield
- Serves 2
- a 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 1/3 cup dry white wine or dry vermouth
- 1 teaspoon Pernod if desired
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Cook spinach according to package instructions and drain well. Cool spinach completely and squeeze dry by handfuls.
- In a saucepan bring broth and water to a simmer and keep at a bare simmer.
- In a large saucepan cook onion in oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Stir in rice, stirring until each grain is coated with oil. Add wine or vermouth and cook, covered, over moderately high heat, stirring, until wine is absorbed. Add about 3/4 cup simmering broth and cook over moderately high heat, stirring constantly, until broth is absorbed. Continue adding broth, about 3/4 cup at a time, cooking, stirring constantly and letting each addition be absorbed before adding the next, until about half of broth has been added. Reduce heat to moderate if necessary to keep risotto at a strong simmer. Continue adding broth in the same manner until rice is tender and creamy looking but still al dente, about 18 minutes.
- Stir spinach and Pernod into rice and add salt and pepper to taste. Remove pan from heat and stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan. Serve risotto with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.

When a worker at a construction site inspects an extension cord and determines that it needs to be repaired, who can repair it?
Anyone who is qualified can do the repair – the person does not have to be a licensed electrician to repair a typical extension cord. However, the person must have the knowledge and skills to repair the cord correctly, must understand the hazards involved in making the repair, and must be able to describe what could happen if the repair is done wrong. The employer is responsible for determining if the person is qualified; the basis for the determination is normally from the electrical industry perspective.
Additional requirements for extension cords are in Oregon OSHA's subdivision 3/K electrical rules. Extension cords must be used in continuous lengths without a splice or tap and repairs must meet the cord manufacturer's original specifications.
Reprinting, excerpting, or plagiarizing any part of this publication is fine with us!
But remember: the information in this newsletter is intended to highlight safe work practices, but it does not replace Oregon OSHA workplace safety and health rules.
For information about Oregon OSHA services and answers to technical questions, call (503) 378-3272 or toll-free within Oregon, (800) 922-2689.
